buzzwords

Multi-actor approach

• Approach aims at more demand-driven innovation through the

genuine and sufficient involvement of various actors (end-users such

as farmers/farmers' groups, fishers/fisher's groups, advisors,

enterprises, etc.) all along the project: from the participation in the

planning of work and experiments, their execution up until the

dissemination of results and the possible demonstration phase.

• Facilitation between actors and openness to involve additional

actors/groups of actors during the project, for instance relevant EIP

operational groups, are strongly recommended.

• Calls: SFS-1A; SFS-1C; SFS-2A; SFS-2B; SFS-3A; SFS-4; SFS-5; SFS-7A; SFS-13;

SFS-19; ISIB-2; ISIB-4B, WASTE 2, WASTE-7.
